Description of the plant:
Ice Peach is a dwarf peach tree variety and the first white-skin peach in history. It produces medium-sized fruit with very pale yellow to almost white skin as well as the flesh which is sweet, low in acidity, aromatic, and juicy. It matures in first half August and makes small, slightly spreading trees of moderate growth. It is commonly grafted onto dwarfing rootstock Rootpac-20 which makes it suitable for growing large pots on balconies and patios. Self-fertile. We suggest planting peach trees in free space so it can feel cold, spring breeze which will delay flowering and thus prevent the flowers from frost damage. It likes slightly alkaline soil, moist but well drained. Do not transplant bare-root trees in autumn, only in spring. Pruning is possible in early spring after flowering or in mid-late August after harvesting the fruit – reduce long branches to 30-50% of their size and remove weak ones. The best yield however is from an unpruned tree which grows naturally. Hardy to about -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
